A revised teaching assistant-led extracurricular physical activity programme for 8- to 10-year-olds: The Action 3:30R feasibility cluster RCT (2019)
Journal Article

Abstract
Background
Many children do not meet the recommended guidelines for physical activity (PA). The after-school period may be a critical time for children to participate in PA. Teaching assistants are important within the school system and c...

General practice referral of ‘at risk’ populations to community leisure services: Applying the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the impact of a community-based physical activity programme for inactive adults with long-term conditions (2019)
Journal Article

Background: In the UK a high proportion of adults with long-term conditions do not engage in regular physical activity. General practice (GP) referral to community-based physical activity is one strategy that has gained traction in recent years. Howe...
